Maroon 5 - "Makes Me Wonder" "Moves Like Jagger" "One More Night"

DC only had 4 #1s?

lol that's the first thing i thought about



though at least i don't have Bey in my sig

Black Eyed Peas only had 3? Boom Boom Pow was their first?

No ABBA?

They never really took off in America during their heyday, unfortunately

All their #1s were from one era

Just shows that songs can have huge impact and not reach #1 "Let's Get It Started" was not even Top 20, My Humps & Don't Phunk With My Heart were both #3....

They only had one #1 in the US (Dancing Queen).

I am too, but they struggled in the airplay dominated charts of 2003-2006, as they didn't crossover as much as some of their competitors did. But they do brilliant now in the digital era (same applies to Eminem).

Now that's just not true. They weren't as huge as - say - The Beatles, but they were still very successful...

Here are their most successful US hits:

Waterloo - #6
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do - #15
SOS - #15
Fernando - #13
Dancing Queen - #1
Knowing Me, Knowing You - #14
The Name of the Game - #12
Take a Chance on Me - #3
Does Your Mother Know - #19
The Winner Takes It All - #8

So they weren't huge but they were very consistent and sold many singles. Their albums didn't go so well though in America..

Beatles ? Rolling Stones ? And many others in the list are more iconic that Queen

Queen were an albums band though.

...not to mention Where Is the Love only reached #8.

Queen is a SINGLE band

Wow You have no idea, I seriously love ABBA to death, but I had no clue they had that much success! I have never looked into the statistics before... all I know is that America was definitely not their market, especially compared to Europe and Australia.

at their worst single, and one of their worst songs imo, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do charting so high. Thanks for the stats though! Do you like them?

Tell me a song more iconic than Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock, and We Are the Champions in the last 50 years by any group. I bet you can't.

You're kind of right, they still have only one #1 album in the USA, tho.

Do you know that Queen have 18 #1 albums that sold over 150M WW?

Their Greatest Hits is the #1 selling album of all time in the UK, and Greatest Hits II is #10. Like, they are very much a singles band.
